' SHOE-REPAIRING STAND.

Application filed August 19, 1920. Serial No. 404,674.

T 0 all w 7mm it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS RENDLE, of the city of Ottawa, in the county of La Salle and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Shoe-Repairing Stands, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to stands for shoomakers use on hand work, and the objects of the invention consists in providing the combination of a heel part, and mount, a last mount and a shoe holding device.

I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings in whichFigure one (1) is a perspective view of the entire stand. Figure two (2) is a top view of the heel mount, and last mount, Figure three (3) is a vertical section of the heel part, and Figure four (41) is a plan view of the two part last.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

The tubular standard 1 has a last mount 2 and a rigidly fixed cleat 3 at the rear, having a groove 7 at each side, and a perforation 12. The heel part 5 has a concave breast 15 and a slot 6 with an arm at each side, each having an indenture lat at the rear, and a pin 13 is inserted in the perforation 12, whereby the heel part 5 may be securely held. I prefer a spindle 2 and a socket with the forepart 4c as shown in my Patent No. 1,023,760, dated April 16, 1912, whereby the forepart 1 may be securely held in different positions.

The tubular standard 1 unites the last mounts 2 and 3 and the base 8, and is embraced by the shoe holding device 9. The shoe holder 9 has an aperture opening atone side and a handle or lever, loosely inclosing the standard 1 which may be moved up or down or in a circular direction, located between the last and the base, and a loop or hook connected therewith, whereby the shoe may be drawn toward different sides with regard to the standard 1. The aperture has a bevel edge 11 top and bottom, to cooperate with opposite sides of the standard toward opposite ends, and the holder may be forced downward and the edges caused to seize the standard, 1 whereby a shoe is securely held on the last.

The operation is as follows:

A shoe can be placed upon the forepart alone and be moved for all shapes, right, left, and straight; and any size heel-part may be added with the best results,

The shoeholder is connected with the shoe to be operated upon and then forced down over the standard and set by pressing upon the short tip, and is released by pressing upon the long tip.

I claim:

1. The combination in a shoe repairing stand, of a standard having a rigidly fixed cleat at the rear, said cleat having a groove at each side, and a perforation, a heel-part having a slot with an arm at each side to cooperate with the grooves of the cleat and indentures at the rear, said indentures to cooperate with the perforation, and a pin in said cleat, whereby the said heel-part is securely held, a spindle on said standard having a set of V shaped grooves, and a last member having a circular socket and a V shaped ridge at each side to cooperate with the V shaped grooves, whereby the last may be held in different positions with regard to said heel-part, substantially as described.

2. The combination in a shoe repairing stand, of a standard, a ri idly fixed cleat mounted thereon and having a perforation at the rear, a heel-part having a concaved breast and a slot constructed to receive said cleat with an arm at each side thereof and having an indenture at the rear of each arm, a pin extending through said perforation and indentures, and a. shoe-holding device mounted on the standard.

THOMAS RENDLE.
